Okay, here’s the thing about me. I love a good editorial and this one did not disappoint. Custom made bridal attire by Handmade by Yamileth, shoes by Kailee P- all of the most romantic and feminine accessories. This elopement was perfect, a beautiful day for a wedding!

I wanted to shoot at Griffith Observatory because it is one of the most romantic locations in Los Angeles. It is full of people and yet it felt so intimate.

A beautiful ceremony outside of the main building our bride and groom reciting vows to each other and then off for some cake and champagne.

Renae wore a gold, pearl ring, a gold bangle, and a monogrammed necklace all passed down from her grandmother. Her bouquet was romantic, minimalistic- made of white roses and blush carnations. Ernesto wore a burgundy tux that complimented Renae’s dusty pink corset and tulle skirt. Talk about a stunning combo!

So many beautiful picturesque backdrops at the Griffith Observatory for this elopement. The grass area was closed this day, but we pivoted and opted for romantic architectural backgrounds instead.
